Deltarune Chapters 3 & 4 Are Finally Here
Remember in 2018 when Toby Fox casually tweeted a free download link for Deltarune Chapter 1? Three years later he did the same with Chapter 2, and the fanbase has been holding its collective breath ever since. Well, you can exhale now: Chapters 3 and 4 dropped on 4 June 2025 (5 June worldwide), and they’re every bit as quirky, heartfelt, and surprising as you’d hope.
This article will explain the new content, the price tag, platform quirks, and, of course – what’s next. Whether you’re a longtime Undertale scholar or someone who just likes bullet‑hell dodging and terrific music, there’s something here for you.
TIP
Deltarune Chapters 1 & 2 Recap
- Chapter 1 (2018): Kris and Susie tumble out of a sleepy classroom and into a shadowy “Dark World” where they meet the soft‑spoken prince Ralsei and learn that light, dark, and balance are literally everyone’s problem. Cue choice‑driven battles, laugh‑out‑loud NPCs, and one jaw‑dropping cliff‑hanger that launched a million theory posts.
- Chapter 2 (2021): The adventure moves to the technicolor Cyber World, ruled by the meme‑loving Queen. More party members, a deeper morality system, a Spamton fight you’ll never forget, and enough open threads to knit a scarf.
Together, these two chapters set the emotional stakes and sprinkle breadcrumbs toward the big mysteries Chapters 3‑5 promise to solve.
What’s New in Chapters 3 & 4?
Yep – and Chapter 4 rode in right beside it. Both chapters released simultaneously on 4 June 2025 (North America) / 5 June (global). Players on PC, macOS, Nintendo Switch & Switch 2, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 can jump in right now.

Deltarune Chapter 3 and 4 Features
Chapter 3
- Tone: lighter and experimental. Think rhythm battles, mini‑games, and puzzles that flex the brain more than the HP bar.
- New systems: eight optional “recruits” you can pacify (but never KO) if you want them to hang out in Castle Town later.
- Cut content: Toby Fox admitted trimming a chunk of the chapter so pacing wouldn’t drag, you’ll barely notice, but it keeps things snappy.
Chapter 4
- Tone: classic Deltarune drama with bullet‑hell set pieces and emotional gut‑punches.
- Gameplay: harder fights, team‑combo ACTs, and a secret boss (the Roaring Knight) that’ll test your dodging chops.
- Lore bombs: expect fresh clues about Kris’s soul, the Dark Fountains, and a certain skeletal scientist.
Comparison
Element | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 |
---|---|---|
Overall vibe | Experimental, breezy | Narrative‑heavy, intense |
Combat focus | Rhythm & puzzles | Traditional turn‑based + bullet hell |
Key recruit count | 8 | 8 (different set) |
Biggest surprise | Meta mini‑game cameo | Mid‑chapter perspective shift |
What We Know About Chapter 5
Toby Fox says he’s “deep in Chapter 5 every single day.” Internal targets point to a 2026 release window, and momentum should be quicker now that 3 & 4 shipped together. Expect Chapter 5 to tie up the current arc, and maybe light the fuse for something even bigger.
Connection between Deltarune and Undertale
If you treat Deltarune as Undertale 2, Toby Fox will politely shake his head. Canonically, Deltarune lives in a parallel universe – same faces, different roles, fresh timeline. Still, Chapters 3 & 4 sprinkle new winks and nods: a familiar blue‑hooded skeleton checking the mail, an out‑of‑place lab coat, and dialogue that all but screams multiverse. The fun is piecing it together.
